Eurostar on Tuesday suspended all cross-Channel train services to and from London after a power supply issue occurred in the Channel Tunnel linking Britain and France. The high-speed rail operator said services were halted until further notice and warned passengers to expect severe delays, according to a company statement.

A Eurostar spokesperson said there was no clarity yet on when operations would resume and declined to estimate how many passengers had been affected. The disruption comes during the busy winter travel season, impacting one of Europe’s most heavily used international rail routes.

Eurostar services from London connect major destinations including Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Disneyland Paris. Tunnel operator Getlink had not issued an immediate comment on the incident at the time of reporting.
